Freebsd Hangs When Install On CentOS6.5
Hi, All
The freebsd(version: 10.0, RC3) can’t be installed as kvm guest based on CentOS 6.5(kernel: kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64, qemu-kvm:
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2
-2.415.el6_5.8.x86_64). When installing it, it always shows ‘booting’ and hangs.
My cpu&memory information:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v2 @ 3.00GHz
Mem: 132189664
My qemu-kvm command:
/usr/libexec/qemu-kvm -name testbsd -M rhel6.5.0 -enable-kvm -m
2048 -realtime mlock=off -smp 4,sockets=4,cores=1,threads=1 -uuid

Hi I took the following note when installng freeBSD on VirtualBox:
Installation in VirtualBox:
from http://www.freebsd.org/
get a boot-install CDROM and burn it to a disk, because mounting the ISO
file at installation-start does not work with freeBSD, you get a kernel-panic immediately. As installation source give one of the freebsd.org webs, Also, it is useless to copy an entire distribution to a local disk, using this as installation source woun’t work either.
Possibly it may help you also on kvm.

This is because of an issue that has been fixed in later linux kernels. upgrading to the kernel-ml or kernel-lt from El-Repo or trying an operating systems with a more advanced kernel such as Ubuntu or Fedora should fix it.
Update status:
After upgrading kernel from rhel 7 rc, it works.

Could you remind me which patch has fixed the issue in upstream kernel?
thanks in advance.

The Qemu list is your next stop I guess. :)
